In addition to these, Yang Lin also carefully prepared his trump card for the Tartars, that is, the red-coated cannon.

Since entering Shunqing City, this year and a half has been fully armed, starting from scratch, and manufacturing a large number of hot weapons.

Taking into account the limitations of the handicraft workshop, a firearms bureau was established to create light weapons, from imitation bird guns, to autogenous bird guns, large bird guns, coarse bird guns, and cavalry bird guns according to books such as "The Illustrated Story of the Military Flag".

Taking into account the role of artillery, first the brigade was cast with tiger squat guns, then the battalion used No. 3 Franc machine guns, the regiment used large Franc machine guns, and now the town (division) began to cast large artillery.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the red-coated cannon was about three meters long and weighed two tons, and it was not easy to carry or launch even in the West. The Ming Dynasty did not have four-wheeled carriages, and it was even more difficult to carry them.

The Manchu Qing Dynasty attacked Jiangnan and could transport the red-coated artillery by water, and the attack on Tongguan and Xi'an needed to wait for the arrival of the red-coated cannon.

Considering this situation, Yang Lin still decided to go step by step, first casting a small regiment or above artillery according to the red-coated cannon model, because the weight of the solid bullet is about 3 catties, it is called a 3-catty cannon in the West, which is actually a small-caliber reduced version of the red-coated cannon.

With the arrival of the two Western priests, Li Sisi and An Siwen, on the basis of absorbing the experience of Western cannon casting, finally cast a 3-pound cannon.

The cannon is made of iron-core copper cannons cast in iron molds, and the cannon weighs 310 kg, which is similar to the large Franc cannon, and weighs more than 500 kg if the gun carriage is added.

The tail cavity of the gun was thickened, the barrel gradually became smaller, the body length was 1.68 meters, the outer caliber was 18 cm, and the inner diameter was 7 cm.

The artillery mainly uses 3 catties of gunpowder to fire 3 catties of solid iron balls, and the firing distance is between 150 meters and 600 meters, which is similar to the large Furlong cannon.

Unlike the Furlong cannon, there are the following differences:

The large Franc cannon can only fire solid bullets and scattered bullets (it is too dangerous for the rear gun to be loaded with flowering shells, and the technical requirements for 1 catty flowering bombs are higher), while the 3 catty guns can also fire flowering shells in addition to solid bullets and scattered bullets (the Ming Dynasty began to use flowering shells, and the Nu chief died at the hands of flowering bullets).

Due to the front-loading method, the Franc cannon adopts the rear-loading sub-gun method, even if it is mounted on the gun carriage, the firing speed is slower, firing every four minutes, while the large Franc cannon uses the sub-gun method, which can be fired every two minutes.

The shell weighs 3 catties, and can fire a flowering shell, the power of the 3 catties cannon is far more than the large Franc cannon, the flowering shell falls to the ground and explodes, and the shrapnel flies sideways for more than ten meters around, and the power is very strong.

Due to the use of iron core copper body structure, the use of iron mold casting, the quality of the cannon is far higher than that of contemporaneous artillery, and more than 30 shells can be fired at the same time.

3 kg of guns on the gun carriage, weighing 500 kg, if you add the 60 shells equipped in wartime, each gun weighs 1400 kg, and it is very difficult to move with four mules in wartime.

A total of 50 5-kilogram guns were cast before and after, and a total of 10 artillery cannons were formed according to the model of 5 artillery brigades.

Yang Lin fulfilled his promise that day and appointed Fan Mingshan as the commander of the artillery regiment.

In view of the approaching battlefield, in the past few days, all units have been vigorously mobilizing their troops, and in addition to the training of the fourth phase of the Armed Forces Hall, the whole army has carried out physical training, cross-country training, shooting training, and combat training to enhance the combat effectiveness of the troops.

At first, it was just a trial mentality to set up a military academy, but with the passage of time, its effect has become more and more apparent.

More than half of the generals in the army have gone to private schools, although they are much better than those in the Manchu Qing Dynasty, but most of the generals are shallow and poorly informed, and many of them completely rely on the righteousness of the rivers and lakes, or completely rely on their own experience to accumulate the army.

The protagonist does not deny the importance of his own experience, but the accumulation of experience has limitations after all, and it also needs to be accumulated over a long period of time.

The Armament Academy is different, it integrates the latest firearms knowledge and the protagonist's combat thinking into the teaching process, and quickly improves the cognitive level of the trainees through three or five months of systematic learning and practical operation.

In ancient times, the popular apprenticeship system, just as most of the cadets of the Whampoa Military Academy worshipped Chiang Kai-shek, these generals with low cultural knowledge since they participated in the academy and thought that they were someone in their hearts, which helped to improve the centripetal force of the army.

More importantly, these junior and intermediate generals will be imperceptible, and they will also bring the knowledge of the academy to their daily training and strengthen the standardization of military training.

Just like Li Yunlong in the bright sword, Jiang Daya in the sky of history, although everyone is very reluctant to cultural learning on the surface, they compete in private, especially after finding that many methods work.

Every time he inspected the training of various departments, Yang Lin often secretly claimed that he was surprised, don't look at many of these students who have not read the private school and do not know the big characters, and they are struggling in the learning process, but their brains are very flexible, and the training is very hard and hard-working.

There are about 100 students in the fourth phase of the Armed Forces Academy, including infantry, cavalry, baggage, artillery, and naval forces, mainly training grassroots officers.

In order to ensure the continuity of running the school, each training, in addition to more than 20 seeds in the early stage, ensures the inheritance of training.

Now that the army is equipped with a large number of artillery, it is necessary to update the knowledge of artillery, and this morning Yang Lin rushed to the military academy at the bottom of the West Mountain early in the morning to prepare to teach about artillery.

As usual, in addition to the current academy students, many generals heard that adults would teach in person, and many people rushed here.

Everyone surrounded the city in a circle and sat on a small stool, while Yang Lin had the latest 3-pound cannon next to him.

Yang Lin took the lead in explaining the structure of the three-catty cannon, explaining its working principle, and under the applause of everyone, he specially fired three cannons in public.

Seeing the explosion of the flowering bomb flying more than 300 meters, the shrunnel flew sideways, and from a distance, a large area of the surrounding branches, grass and trees exploded.

Everyone sighed, and Yang Bingyi sighed: "My lord, this red-clothed cannon is too powerful, like a scattered bullet, and a large area of the radius will either be killed or injured. ”

Yang Lin smiled and looked at the people around him: "Everyone, the tiger squat cannon can only fire scattered bullets, the Franc machine gun can fire scattered bullets solid bullets, and this 3-pound cannon can fire scattered bullets and flowering shells."

Let's talk about it, what is the difference between this scatter bomb and the blossom bomb? ”

When everyone heard this, everyone racked their brains and had to say what they felt in order to perform, just like the teaching in the past, everyone said that there was a deviation.

Yang Lin once again asked people to do an experiment, using the tiger squat cannon in public to set off a scattered bomb, and then throwing a sky-shattering thunder in public.

Everyone suddenly realized that although the impact area of this scattered bomb was very wide and it looked amazing, it only had potential energy when it fell, and the real force was not too large.

The earth-shattering thunder is completely different, it explodes after falling, and with the help of the force of the explosion, the shrapnel flies sideways, although the range is much smaller, but the lethality is much greater.

In addition to teaching the knowledge of weapons, more importantly, how to use artillery, as the artillery system is improved, this problem needs to be solved even more.

When hearing this question, many people seem to disagree, of course, on the battlefield you need to kill and injure the enemy, but in addition to killing and injuring the enemy, is there a better goal?

Everyone discussed in groups and spoke in groups, and some of them had clear ideas.

Just like the MBA course in his previous life, on the basis of everyone, Yang Lin made a concluding speech.

It's right to kill and injure the enemy, but in addition to killing the enemy, the most important thing is momentum, and you can't let the opponent form momentum.

On the battlefield, the first thing is to destroy the enemy's weapons of the same kind, or the enemy's more powerful weapons, only destroy the enemy's weapons first, so that the enemy can not suppress the opponent's artillery, and his own artillery can exert its power, better defend himself, and suppress the opponent.

In addition, it is necessary to destroy the opponent's momentum, 3 catties of cannons, large Franc machine guns, No. 3 Franc machine guns, tiger squat cannons, and earth-shaking thunder are used, ostensibly to kill and injure the opponent, but in fact, it is to avoid the opponent's troop build-up and avoid the opponent's formation of climate.

If the opponent's front line is isolated and helpless, everyone will not be able to connect together, and they will only be surrounded and suppressed by their superior forces on the battlefield, and finally the army will be defeated and killed.

Everyone listened, through continuous experiments, let everyone feel first-hand, and then through a long time of exploration, and finally gradually implemented into military training.

Targeted training was conducted for the Manchurian and Mongolian cavalry, including grenadier tactics, trench tactics, horse trap tactics, and tripping horse rope tactics.

……

Yang Lin rode a war horse to the camps of each regiment early in the morning to inspect a circle, and then went to Xishan Anhanlou to inspect the 4th Wubeitang students' studies, so busy for a long time, and finally returned to the yamen to deal with official business.

This morning, Yang Lin came to a beach by the Jialing River, a huge flat land has been enclosed on the beach, and the pebbles that used to be everywhere have been picked up, and the two teams are about to have an alternative game on both sides.

A few months ago, when the western expedition was carried out, especially in Tongchuan Prefecture, although the volunteers took advantage of the close fight with the Liukou, as many people chatted in private, although the weak Liukou volunteers won in the face of the weak, they only relied on the sharpness of firearms, the strength of the soldiers, and the exquisite formation.

Every time I hear some people talking in private, Yang Lin feels particularly aggrieved, he is from modern times, and he is of course very skilled in firearms and tactics, but if he is brave on the battlefield, his skills in fighting for his life are of course far inferior to many generals in this era.

Some people commented that why the Ming army was defeated by the Manchus again and again was because many soldiers did not dare or want to fight in close quarters after having firearms.

In World War II, the poorly equipped Japanese army (as opposed to the United States and the Soviet Union) did not fall behind in the face of the American army and the Soviet army in close combat.

Just like the U.S. military during the Korean War, although it was well-equipped, it could be imagined that it would fail in the face of the volunteer army that fought for its life.

After clearly understanding his own shortcomings, Yang Lin has been asking the ministries to put forward improvement measures, but the effect is very little, this day just passing by a market and seeing several people bowing from a distance.

Ju Kei is ancient football, and unlike modern football, Ju Kei is not a face-to-face hand-to-hand fight, it is a bit equivalent to a team like modern volleyball, and if the opponent can't catch it, then it wins.

Watching Ju Kei think of modern football, from modern football to rugby, from rugby to army training, in addition to surprise, Yang Lin hurried back to the camp and hurriedly convened the generals to discuss and promote Ju Kei in the army, which is the so-called American football (or rugby).

Of course, it is modeled after modern rugby, and there are no rules on the pitch other than no fighting.

Over the course of several months, the sport of juju (later called football) gradually spread, with each squadron forming a group to compete in groups every ten years.

The non-escort regiment was in the middle of a game, and everyone drew a huge field on the beach, and eleven people on both sides lined up on both sides, and everyone began to move with a whistle.

The boring training in the past few days has suffocated everyone, and most of these trainings are drudgery, which is like being happy in the bow ring field now.

Although one foot is tall and one foot short on the beach, there is no need to worry about falling, everyone is like having fun, many people used to run with the ball, and after conceding the ball a few times, they were found on demand to find the secret.

If you follow the kick, the opponent will immediately smash the goal as if no one is in a no-man's land, facing the goalkeeper's hands and feet and shooting into the goal (surrounded by two stones)

What should I do, don't you often practice the Mandarin Duck Formation in the army?

The triangular offensive was interpreted as the Sancai Formation, which became the formation most often used by the Volunteers.

A team of ten people, when facing most of the opponent's sprint, the Mandarin Duck formation is used to increase the defensive level, and when attacking, it is mostly a three-talent formation.

One of the captains and two soldiers holding the squatting ball (or kicking the squatting ball), the other two captains supported on one side, and the squad leader suddenly pressed on with a large group of men.

Yang Lin occasionally kicks squatting with several generals, although his leg skills are average, but as the founder, his understanding of squatting is certainly not the same.

Usually let each brigade play on its own, only in the key link to break a little, the rest let everyone slowly ponder, the upper and lower must be very good, after two months of development, this new method of bowing gradually became popular in the army.

What is even more surprising is that in the past, everyone seemed to understand the three and four talent formations of the Mandarin Duck Array, and after the new style of bowing and kicking, everyone's physical strength increased greatly, and they also understood the subtlety of the Mandarin Duck Formation and the Three Talents Formation, and emphasized more active cooperation on the battlefield.
